Chapter 15: Accusations and the Return of Evil
Naruto awoke last of the three and noticed that they were sitting in the kitchen eating
breakfast slowly. They looked to be in pain. Kagome held her abdomen each time she took a
bite of her cereal and Yahiko was not eating anything even though a bowl of cereal sat before
him. They revealed to Naruto that the fifth and Temari left early in the morning to go shopping
and that the spy was not seen at all this morning. Naruto spent over an hour with them in nearly
absolute silence. And then Yahiko broke the silence.
"How long did you know, Naruto, and intend on not telling us ?" asked Yahiko, it
looked as though he gave up at all attempts of trying to eat. Kagome let her spoon splash down
into the milk.
"Know what Yahiko ?," replied Naruto. Yahiko glared at Naruto.
"Don't give me your crap, Naruto."
Naruto just sat at the table speechless, he honestly did not know what Yahiko was talking
about.
"We were tortured yesterday by somebody in anbu," said Kagome, she sat holding
her stomach while staring right at Naruto.
"Who in Anbu was it ?" Naruto was truly shocked, he did not expect this and his
face seemed to show this.
"His name was Morino Ibibki."
Naruto leaned forward and whispered softly, "Ibiki....why ?"
"He said that you know about a traitor in Akatsuki and yet we have never heard
this from you," replied Yahiko bluntly. He spoke softly and emotionlessly. Now tell us Naruto
why you have decided to keep this secret.
"Honestly guys I didn't even know there was a traitor in Akatsuki to begin with."
"Do not give us that crap," replied both Yahiko and Kagome. They were filling
with rage. "We were both tortured on the grounds that you knew something and we want to
know what it is !"
"I am sorry guys, I don't know who the traitor is but now I want to know and we
will discover why.....Kagome !!!" Kagome sat at the table her eyes blank, her emotions dead.
Yahiko quickly turned to Kagome.
"What is the matter with her, Naruto ?" Their conversation that they just had was
all but forgotten.
"I don't know." Yahiko began to shake her to see if it would knock her out of her
daze. Yahiko quickly gave up and then Naruto slapped her, but even that did not help. "I wish
that the fifth was here."
This should be interesting, thought a man deep in the shadows. Sarutobi Hayana
sat against the wall hidden by the darkness. He lightly exhaled smoke and continued smoking his
nearly dead cigarette. It should be very interesting, he thought.
Naruto and Yahiko soon gave up their attempts to revive Kagome and simply sat
in their chairs exchanging glances every once in a while and staring at Kagome. Any further
attempts to revive her would just prove to be useless, Kagome was trapped in her own mind.
Kagome was in the center of darkness. She was englufed by mist, this mist was virtually
in every direction. She was walking slowly to avoid tripping, but there was nothing to trip on.

---

The mist was so thick that she could barley see her way through the mist.
"Where am I ?" said Kagome aloud to herself. The mist represents the troubling
complexity of her mind, she thought to herself, how did I come up with that bull crap.
"You are in your own personal hell." The voice that answered her question was
chilling and menacing. Kagome began to run towards the voice, but then it let out a vile and
wicked laugh. She realized that the voice came from all around.
"Where are you ?" asked Kagome rather loudly, hoping that the voice would
answer. There was no answer. She continued walking through the mist. After a few minutes the
mist slowly turned red, blood red. It dampened her face and she took her hand up to her face to
wipe the water from herself. She took the hand up to her eyes and saw that the moisture she
collected from her face was infact blood. Kagome let out a scream.
"How do you like the blood, Kagome ?" The voice then let out a chilling laugh
that would pierce any person's heart.
I know that voice, realized Kagome to herself. She continued walking through the
mist of blood.
Slowly the mist began to lift slowly, replacing the mist was blood rain. It began to pour
down quickly. Kagome was soon covered in blood and she realized that all the mist on the
ground was not gone. She saw the outlines of objects on the ground. Finally the mist lifted and
she saw to her horror corpses all throughout the plains.
The corpses were covered in blood. There were bloodied heads on pikes and bodies
absent of appendages. The rain of blood soon began to pour faster down on to the earth, pudldes
grew into lakes quickly. Kagome began to look all over for shelter from the rain and rotting
corpses but she found no cover.
"This is your purgatory accept it." By this time Kagome was covered in blood,
she herself looked like a corpse.
Off in the distance she saw a lone figure being rained upon like herself, but it just stood
there. She slowly began to walk towards the figure avoiding the lakes and marshes of blood.
Kagome tripped over several of the floating corpses and she noticed that none of them had faces,
although they did have heads.
To Kagome it felt as though she would never reach the figure, it was as if her mind would
never allow her to. And finally what felt like several hours she was drawing closer and closer to
what was revealed to her as a man. She could not tell who it was, but he did have a face, unlike
the others. In seconds she realized who it was and she broke out into a run.
"Inuyasha it is me," she said excitingly. The blood covered man took no notice of
Kagome, it was as if he was dead to the world. His long hair that extended past his shoulders
was red with blood. His eyes were white with vacancy and his face looked dead of emotions.
She ran up to him and embraced him in a hug, he did not return the hug instead he just stood
there.
"Do you like my puppet ?" The cruel voice rang out throughout Kagome's vast
cavernous mind.
Kagome just stood there crying on Inuyasha's shoulder. The blood laden rain
continued to rain heavily down upon the two of them. Inuyasha began to mumble inaudibly
something that Kagome could not hear.
"Puppet you do not have my permission to speak." At those words Inuyasha
stopped mumbling under his breath. However several seconds later Inuyasha spoke again. This

---

time he was not mumbling he began to talk to Kagome but he kept his same vacant stare.

"Beware the darkness of your heart. Vengeance will bring you only more pain
and suffering."
"Enough puppet !!!" Kagome realized that the voice was Naraku, the man who
killed her love so long ago.
"Beware the darkness of your heart. Vengeance will bring you only more pain
and suffering." Kagome looked at Inuyasha and smiled. You are alive, thought Kagome, I will
save you.
A oak door rose out from the ground and it was labeled consciousness. Kagome noticed
the door. She gave Inuyasha a last hug and whispered in his ear, promising to save him.
"I did not give you permission to leave Kagome." At those words the corpses
began to slowly rise. "These are also my puppets." Kagome walked quickly to the door and felt
the ground beneath her shake. The dead began run at her and Inuyasha turned and grabbed her
wrist.
"Beware the darkness of your heart. Vengeance will bring you only more pain
and suffering." After that he let go.
"Puppet, I told you to hold her so she could remain among us." Kagome quickly
opened the door labeled consciousness.
Inuyasha's emotionless voice called out as she walked through the door and it shut behind
her. "Beware the darkness of your heart. Vengeance will bring you only more pain and
suffering."
Kagome awoke with a gasp and both Naruto and Yahiko looked at her from the table.
"How long was I out ?" asked Kagome, she felt her forehead and she noticed that
she was sweating heavily.
"Ten minutes." replied Yahiko and Naruto in unision. Kagome was still breathing
heavily and the two men just sat there looking at her curiously.
"What happened ?" asked Naruto. Naruto realized that the spy master was
watching but he would bother with him later.
"I saw Inuyasha, he is a puppet of Naraku's," said Kagome. And then she went
further by explaining what Inuyasha kept muttering. Yahiko simply nodded.
"Interesting." It was very interesting after all the man in black gave him a
warning on how vengeance could possibly destroy him and his friend. "Spy master, you may
come out now."
The cigarette he was smoking was long dead. Hayana got up and out of the shadows. He
let out a grin.
"How long did you know I was here Naruto-san ?" asked the spymaster. He was
walking slowly over to the table where the three sat. Yahiko turned his head away when the spy
master approached and Kagome blushed a little when Hayana kissed her hand again.
"Long enough," replied Naruto coldly.
"Naruto I am on your side. The fifth and the Kazekage have decided to place me
on your team." Naruto was shocked at these turn of events and Yahiko was staring at the spy
master angrily.
"We have a full team," replied Naruto.
"It is orders from the higher ups Naruto, personally I don't want to be on your
team either, but well I'll live." Hayana smiled at Kagome.

---

"Oh you will won't you," said Yahiko angrily and with these words he stormed
out of the kitchen. Kagome tried to run after him, Naruto stopped her.
"You need your rest and besides I need to talk with the spy," whispered Naruto.
Kagome nodded and went up to bed.
After several moments when he felt it was safe Naruto began talking quietly to the spy.
The spy sat down and began to light another cigarette.
"What is your mission and why have you been placed on my team ?" asked
Naruto quietly.
"My mission is to watch you. There are three days to the final part of the exam
Naruto and we want to make sure nothing happens. And to clarify why I am on your team is
because after the exam I am replacing you." Naruto sat there in total shock, why would they
replace him with this nobody and place him among his friends that weren't even ninjas. Hayana
simply sat there smiling at Naruto all whilst smoking his cigarette.
Yahiko walked through the village deep in thought and in anger. He wanted to get away
from the fifth's house because he may have made the mistake of killing spy. It was a nasty day
and he knew if he didn't get rid of the steam soon he knew that he would be soaking wet and
would probably get really sick. There was nobody out in the village today and silence was
beginning to kill him.
He looked up at the hokages carved on to the mountain. And then he saw it. Standing on
the first was a lone figure. The figure had long silver hair and was a wearing a black cloak and a
pair of glasses. Yahiko and the figure's eyes met for an instance and the man in black vanished
in a heartbeat. Yahiko knew that man, it was Enishi.
Yahiko ran towards the mountain and dashed up along it to the monument of the first to
try and find a trace of Enishi. He found no sign of the silver haired murderer, but he found a note
addressed to him. Yahiko quickly read the note
Yahiko,
You will never gain your vengeance. However the end draws near.
-Enishi-
He tore it up when he finished the note and threw it into the win.
We will see, thought Yahiko, we will see.
Across the village Enishi stood silently on an apartment and watched Yahiko and was
smiling wickedly. He adjusted his sword from underneath his cloak. He let out a loud hideous
laugh.
"Soon, Lord Orochimaru, the pieces will fall into place," said Enishi. And out
from the apartment came three figures and they stood behind him. They were hidden among the
shadows but their vile smiles were easily seen. "In just three short days the plans will finally
begin."
"With the fat man ?" asked one of them. The voice was that of a child's but it
was also one of a killer. The fat man was the informat in Akatsuki that Naruto was to make
contact with.
"Yes, but remember you three must do your parts." Three more days, thought

---

Enishi.
They simply bowed and said in unision, "Yes sir." And with those words they vanished
back into the apartment. Orochimaru will be pleased and soon Vash the Stampede's usefulness
will expire, thought Enishi.
